last i heard you po'

learn to cook!

(it's what we do)

how do you think those cubans invented their sandwiches? cooking pig, that's how. they didn't buy them.

know your local markets.

anyway best wishes with your latest condition lol

yeah, i'm just limited with cooking supplies. i have a pot for pasta and that's it. i usually cook shit at my friend's house if i wanna make something, but tomorrow gonna get a saute pan and a baking dish.

ugh, i should grab the sandwich grill when i go home in a few weeks. i'm so hungry all the time.

oh i'm drinking some shitty malt liquor i poured in my water bottle so i could drink it in the computer lab

!@#$! did you notice "sure" was in italics ;)

if i had to choose 1 pot to rule them all that would be my cast iron skillet. which is not even a pot proper. it also doubles as a weapon if required.

luckily i live in a nice gated place so no weapons needed, but a skillet would be hella nice.

the thrift store is fine and in desperation walrat has made in china lodges for like $8.... may not be an old-school wagner but pays for itself the first time you cook in it.

yeah, even ross has a few decent looking ones and it's next to trader joes so i can get two birds stoned at once. i was never much into cooking until i just had a microwave for six months and missed real food.

yeah. buying prepared food is for bougie office workers & aspirationals with too much debt. fuck that shit!

btw i ate awesome garbanzos tonight. with yellow peppers, shallots, some seasonings which included soy sauce. i buy them raw at the hippie store. soak them overnight & pressure cook them for 30' in the weekend and use them all week.

without pressure cooker just slow-boil them for an hour or 2. versatile as fuck. for breakfast with eggs, for lunch in a salad or hummus, for dinner howevr the hell you want them.

well this garbanzo-cooking peasant must wash the onion from his face and go to sleep.

night! and ah i should try that. i eat a ton of hummus just by itself. could just some texture.

i feel bad, like this thread promotes alcoholism instead of healthy drinking

but here, i just "invented" (if one can say that) this cocktail

THE PEAR SHAPED (kindly note the joke)
2 oz cheap brandy
.5 oz cheap pear liqueur (18% alcohol, some cheap french thing, tasty but overly sweet)
3 shakes of angostura bitters
shake w/ ice
pour on coctail glasses

this meets the 4 criteria for a cocktail: spirits, water, sugar (the pear thang), bitters

tastes like sweet victory and i don't have to break open a vermouth

just wanted to share the recipe before i completely forget

nighty nights

alchemy with turds is the quintessence of all popular cuisines

and this actually turned out good

the brandy is cheap but tastes better than good vodka

the pear thing is actually tasty-- it's no poire williams (that would be the way to make it right) but it has good flavor. it just sucks as a liqueur due to oversweetness but it's not essentially bad-- hence its use as a syrup instead

it didn't occur to me to muddle pears even though i had them-- but i'll plunk some pears in cheap brandy next year.

right now i'm just trying to get rid of winter stock before i switch to spring drinks.

sorta like making malasadas before lent.

wine, alone, because everything sucks

Lies. I am surrounded by lovely people.

eh i was feeling cynical.

water with mio flavoring, because i'm broke

hey you

i hope the cynicism is gone

i had such a nice time this weekend!-- barely recovering today

your post made me think, if you coud drink that always, then you'd never be broke in the first place.

ah, it is. told a former flame to fuck off, a bad influence to stay away, an old friend that we should hang more. been a good day or so.

yeah, how was mardi gras for you, party animal?

heh, made me think too

it was fucking glorious

it will take me a few days to comprehend though ha ha ha

A can of fanta

Where the fuck are you, Zamibia?

sorry i skipped replying to this earlier, when you asked about mardi gras i was transported back a bit ha ha

anyway, i like to hear things are getting better! and so you got your skates back, after all?

--

also, i'm going to start a food and drink blog, and i'm going to call it ALCHEMY WITH TURDS.

ha ha not really. but it's a good idea so i'm putting it out into the world.

Ah?:confused:

it's okay! and nope. havent gotten my stuff yet. waiting for this dude to say hes coming up here still.

nice name. i'd read it.

Fanta is some third world shit, don't they got snapple in England?

rum & cokes

qué bonito

7 & 7s

great with popcorn

Fanta is quite popular in Central Europe and from what I can tell the British seem to like it too. Snapple is awesome. Hard to come by in Austria though.

Anyway, a few hours ago:

 

The beer with the funny name

Oh, and speaking of orange flavored soda, this stuff is pretty good:

 

One just has to look past the ufortunate name.

yeaaaaahhhh. i had a hopsecutioner tonight. and a few pbrs because i'm in a fucking college town. twas awesome

Tecate and hennesy its a wedding reunion with people i aint seen since i had dread

smoothie with rice milk, strawberries, banana and bit of honey.

feels so fresh and like a real vitamin C injection; it will be good for a hangover as well. will stock plenty of strawberries next time and freeze them.

damn....getting tanked in a Sunday!


Orange and Pomegranate San Pellegrino.
Delicious.

And now water.

fennel tea :D

So my grad school semester is over, the school year has winded down into "end of year chill mode" and its the mid-NBA playoffs. Life is good

I tell you bumping into walls back and forth more food and money I need more alcohol and more food for hangover my friends and family suck I want to die a horrible death no one cares about me pass that vodka thanks i need sleep fuckit pass it on. vomit.

I prefer the mouthfeel of Sierra Nevada Torpedo but this one kicks you in the mouth with hops but is dry as a bone compared to westcoast ipas like Stone's(2), Torpedo(1), Lagunitas (4), or Ballast Point (3). It reminds me of a dry version of Firestone Union Jack IPA, tastes like stone fruit

eh, i'd try it but i don't want dry things lately. i killed a bottle of pinot grigio tonight.
